Technical Data Consultant – 3 Month ContractUp to £550 P/D Outside IR35Manchester – Hybrid (x2 days a week)
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well‑established gambling and gaming organisation seeking a Technical Data Consultant to support a focused discovery and documentation engagement.
This is a hands‑on contract for someone who enjoys stepping into complex, legacy‑leaning data environments and making them understandable, supportable, and less reliant on individual knowledge.
The role
You’ll be brought in to:
- Investigate and reverse‑engineer live data platforms with limited documentation
- Build a clear picture of the current‑state data architecture and data flows
- Review and document business‑critical SQL and transformation logic
- Produce practical operational documentation and runbooks
- Work closely with long‑tenured engineers to capture knowledge and reduce key‑person risk
The focus is clarity, stability, and handover – not greenfield delivery or re‑platforming.
What we’re looking for
- Background as a Data Consultant, Data Architect, or similar
- Solid knowledge of SQL / SQL Server and AWS‑based data platforms
- Comfortable creating architecture diagrams, data definitions, and operational guides
- Rate: Up to £550 per day
- Duration: 3 months initially
This role will suit someone who enjoys problem‑solving in ambiguous environments and leaving things in a better state than they found them.
